KAMALA'S WAY: AN AMERICAN LIFE
KAMALA'S WAY: AN AMERICAN LIFE
 MORAIN, DAN
Synopsis

The Kamala Harris the public knows today is tough, smart, quick-witted, and demanding. She&;s a prosecutor&;her one-liners are legendary&;but she&;s more reticent when it comes to sharing much about herself, even in her memoirs. Fortunately, longtime Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain has been there from the start.

In Kamala&;s Way, he charts her career from its beginnings handling child molestation cases and homicides for the Alameda County District Attorney&;s office and her relationship as a twenty-nine-year-old with the most powerful man in the state: married Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a relationship that would prove life-changing. Morain takes readers through Harris&;s years in the San Francisco District Attorney&;s Office, explores her audacious embrace of the little-known Barack Obama, and shows the sharp elbows she deployed to make it to the US Senate. He analyzes her failure as a presidential candidate and the behind-the-scenes campaign she waged to land the Vice President spot. Along the way, he paints a vivid picture of her values and priorities, the kind of people she brings into her orbit, the sorts of problems she&;s good at solving, and the missteps, risks, and bold moves she&;s made on her way to the top.
